Storylines
- What needs to be better? Literally everything, according to Lars Eller and Nicklas Backstrom.
- It’s, uh, not great!
- Anthony Mantha had to pay up due to some goalie interference.
- The NHL Shop added some Tom Wilson Reverse Retro jerseys to the store. After we posted about them, they sold out in less than a day but there is some sweet new Capitals playoffs merch still available.
- Play the black aces!
